The market for paperback detective novels is perfectly competitive. We have two types of book publishers in the market- Small Press and Large Press.
Each Small Press publisher's supply curve is given by P=76+5Q.
Each Large Press publisher's supply curve is given by Q=2P-24
Suppose there is only 1 publisher of each type. What is market supply when market price is $60? Enter a number only. Remember, fractions of goods are possible.
Will, Jill, and Phil are all wheat farmers. The wheat industry is perfectly (purely) competitive. The first chart shows how much each farmer produces at different price levels. The second chart shows each farmer's minimum average total cost (ATC), average variable cost (AVC), and marginal cost (MC).
Based on this data (assuming these three are the only producers), plot the industry supply curves: one for the short run and one for the long run.

- Suppose you run an independent trucking business. You own a tractor trailer for hire. You work with a broker who offers you business to transport various cargos from one location to another. You can choose to take a particular job at the price offered or not. The broker works with many similar truckers. Independent trucking is an industry that can be considered perfectly competitive. Draw a graph showing market supply, market demand, and equilibrium price and quantity. Draw a corresponding graph for the individual firm/trucker using the market equilibrium price and marginal cost curve. If you line up the two graphs horizontally, the equilibrium price should be the same on both graphs. Now suppose that the economy improves as U.S. manufacturers produce more output. What impact will this have on the independent trucking industry in the short run, in terms of the market price, output of an individual firm, and market equilibrium quantity? What impact will this have on the firm’s profits?…arrow_forwardA perfectly competitive industry is in long-run equilibrium. Each of the identical firms has a long- run cost function C = 100 + q². As a result, a firm's marginal cost function is MC = 2q. In the long-run competitive equilibrium, (a) How much does the firm produce? (b) What is the equilibrium price?

Use the orange points (square symbol) to plot the initial short-run industry supply curve when there are 10 firms in the market. (Hint: You can disregard the portion of the supply curve that corresponds to prices where there is no output since this is the industry supply curve.) Next, use the purple points (diamond symbol) to plot the short-run industry supply curve when there are 20 firms. Finally, use the green points (triangle symbol) to plot the short-run industry supply curve when there are 30 firms.
